:D

The road to hell is paved with pre-crime policies

That is the cheap ass philosophy I would expect from a fast food restaurant

Thanks, I really needed a laugh

Brains react to change, surprisal. You may go back to baseline after and event but will surely feel when it changes back in the other direction

I wish they could stop being so cynical and at least stop putting “We value your privacy” as the title of cookie consent pop ups. You clearly don’t, otherwise you wouldn’t even be asking me that.

Should’ve been in monospace

Doesn’t load for me. I work with ANNs solving problems and compare it with animals doing a similar thing for my PhD. You can see a lot of similarities, and can model some animal behavior after it. However, even with the presence of similarities you can’t completely say it thinks “the same”, but you can say it is functionally equivalent: If you have two functions that give the same output for the same inputs, then they are the same function for that domain, same goes for brains.

Just to be clear, LLMs have some similar thinking patterns with what we know about the neural activity of animal brains, but I wouldn’t say it is the same, and saying they think “like humans” is very subjective.

One thing that is easier to notice is that they struggle with problems that require some form of recursive thinking, which is something a human can do. They can’t simply go back to correct their beliefs, once they spit something out it stays there, so they have to commit to it.

The service is as good as the community who updates it. The more people using, the better it becomes. Be the change you want to see.

Again? I’d just give up having values at this point and become even more absurdist I guess

Questioning social norms doesn’t necessarily makes you an asshole, it depends on how it is approached.

By not defying them we will remain stagnant, imagine the downhill slope we would end up on if no one ever questioned why a man shouldn’t love another man or a woman shouldn’t love another woman.

People shut you down because many are intolerant to change and have their values under scrutiny is seen as hostile, but that doesn’t imply compliance is productive. Of course, you don’t want to this all the time, but teaching your kid to repress their displease of social norms doesn’t sound good either.

Hitler was sentient too

Gemma 4, gpt oss, and nemotron. Currently I’ve been sticking with Gemma more, the 31 billion parameters one.

I set up ollama on our thinkstation in the lab and I use it for looking up documentation, generating readmes, searching papers, and sometimes coding when I know what to do but don’t feel it is worth it to spend time on it myself. So basically the chat with web search.

Diogenes is the modern crackhead

Holy fuck I regret clicking on this

You can definitively simplify this flowchart further. Like on distance for example, what matters is only if it is height or related to work to be imperial and otherwise metric.

It teaches them civil disobedience and that they shouldn’t trust the state. At least something positive out of this shit show huh
